| | British Summer Time: historical information |
 | | It changed the rules for Summer Time to agree with the European rules on a permanent basis, starting on the last Sunday in March and ending on the last Sunday in October, both at 1am Greenwich mean time. | | | The dates specified for 1947 were Summer Time starting on 16th March and ending 2nd November, both at 2am GMT, and double summer time starting on 13th April and ending on 10th August, both at 1am Greenwich mean time. | | | Thus the time was now one hour in advance of GMT, being Summer Time rather than the year-round time one hour in advance of GMT used previously, and would revert to GMT at the time specified by the Summer Time Acts, 1922 to 1925, 2am GMT on 7 October. |

| | Merlyn - Summer Time - J R Stockton |
| | The Summer Time rules for most places (including UK, EU; and NA) imply that the choice of each date from the seven possibilities is in one-to-one correspondence with the day-of-week of New Year's Eve (and Christmas Day) at the end of that year. | | | To be rational, Summer Time ought to be from the Sunday nearest to the nominal Spring Equinox (which is March 21st, implying Sunday is in 18th-24th) to that nearest to the Autumn one. | | | Summer Time was first suggested (apparently frivolously) by Benjamin Franklin (Paris, 1784); it was advocated by William Willett (London, 1907) and considered by the Commons (1908). |

| | Bulgaria Switches over to Summer Time Sunday |
| | Bulgarians are to rewind the clocks with one hour forward, at 3 am local time March 27, switching over to summer timing, along with all European countries. | | | Since 1981 European Community (EC) Directives have prescribed the start and end dates of summer time in member states. | | | Bulgaria adopted the switch between summer and winter time in 1979, almost seventy years after it was applied for the first time in Great Britain, in 1908. |
